House of the week

IT’S been just one year since we launched our new-look Irish Examiner Property and Interiors supplement. Since that April, we’ve brought news and shown you some of the very best houses to come to the Munster market.

And, despite the straitened times, depressed sentiment, the lack of bank finance and general economic woes, it’s good to report that there is actually a level of activity in the marketplace, successful sales, a general pick-up in volumes of viewings in recent months — and deals done.

(Even houses and interiors we featured which were not for sale had a pick-up too, for architects, engineers and builders credited in our Cover Story spread, many of whom reported getting commissions and work from positive coverage.)
